    Our last two presidents have been barely functional, dementia-riddled puppets AT BEST.

    Trying to sneak in the Nazi propaganda right there at the end huh?

      I’m sorry. I genuinely have no idea why it came off as Nazi propaganda. It certainly wasn’t my intention. Could you tell me what I did wrong?

        1. The whole “Biden was senile” or “Biden was a puppet” thing was pure Nazi propaganda, Biden was old, and physically frail, but the idea that he was mentally lost during his presidency was just pushed by fox news and other Nazi “news” sources, there is no credible evidence to suggest otherwise.

        He stepped down because he was not a particularly popular president, and because people are dumb enough to believe the Nazis when they say something.

        1. Attempting to pretend like Biden and Trump are even remotely similar is just Nazi propaganda, but this time with an “enlightened centrist” slant.

          Okay I see what you’re trying to say, but calling it “Nazi propaganda” is inaccurate and confusing. Just because a Nazi said something doesn’t mean it’s Nazi propaganda. That’s just confusing.

          Also, as someone who actually liked what Biden was doing a lot (specifically, his attack on monopolists/billionaires through the FTC and DOJ), I do believe he was senile. I’m not a doctor, but he showed clear signs of what many of us have seen in our own aging family members.

          Ofc, Trump is senile too, but also insane, stupid, evil, and a whole bunch of other adjectives. Neither him nor Biden should’ve been running.

            Uhh, he was senile. Everything in his debate and press conferences indicated as such.

            Not if you watched with any kind of honesty.

            He isnt a great debator, but he wasn’t senile

              He dropped out of the re-election bid because he had a “senior moment” in the debate - that’s not full blown senility, but it’s enough to sway plenty of people who are deciding who gets their finger on the launch button for WWIII.

                Because he wasnt 100% perfect. This is just the standard double standard. Trump spends the whole time shitting himself on stage, and Biden isnt 100% perfect and now people are crying about him.

                The only way people thought Clinton was a problem is if they started thinking he was a problem because they had already started drinking the cool-aid

              I would vote for a cardboard cutout or actual criminal Democrat over trump, and I saw the debate, and I knew it was doom for the Biden campaign.

              My heart was broiling because Trump has never been fit since 2016, but he was the same psychotic lunatic he always is, “they’re eating the cats they’re eating the dogs!” But Biden was noticably confused, losing his place, forgetting what he was saying or what the question was, and returning to stock cliches.

              99% of people watching would come out of it thinking “Biden seems older than he was” which is obvious on the face of it but Republicans had been laying the dementia propaganda for months and now they had “evidence”.

                yea, the double standard is real.

                But Biden was noticably confused, losing his place, forgetting what he was saying or what the question was, and returning to stock cliches.

                Hes a bad public speaker and a bad debator.

                Right,

                The only people who watched that debate and thought that Biden had dementia had already been guzzling the coolaid.

              Trump never did well, Biden still came off badly. It’s the old double standard - Clinton gets impeached for a blowjob, meanwhile pedo island gets a pass. Democratic candidates have to be super-human smart, educated, informed - but others just have to be “relatable.”
